... but Ive been watching MythBusters at their vacuuform table again...

They were doing a buck to pull a torso - thing is the buck was made out of FOAM??? Huh???

Whats this precious? Can certain foam withstand heat/vacuuming? The MAIN thing that has been putting me off building a table and my LIFELONG dream of StormTrooper armor is I have no experience with woodwork for the bucks. Lots of enthusiasm - no experience!

I know someone who made a form out of insulation foam board, coated with a good layer of bondo, and vacced over it. Probably a good idea to use the vacced piece as a mold to make better plaster forms for repeated use.
